What should I expect at my first visit?

At your first visit, we’ll take your blood pressure and weight (if desired), then you’ll meet one-on-one with your clinician to discuss your health concerns. Appointments typically last between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your needs. Afterward, we’ll schedule any necessary classes or follow-up visits.

What are my payment options?
